Again in bold
But she is still:
MOSTLY used as a lead
MOSTLY accompanied by the same team archetype
MOSTLY going to attempt to accomplish one goal
MOSTLY have the same 2 moves on every set
edit: I'd like to add, Deo-S WAS broken because she had a surefire taunt, ignored scarfers for the most part, had guaranteed screens or SR and otherwise could do pretty much anything as a lead with very few ways to stop her, deo-d has quite a lot of ways and can't deal with all of them with only 2 moves and an item
GINGANINA EDIT I Know you had other ways of beating Deo listed before, I was pointing out that some of them were flawed. Let it be man.
Deo-D is good at what it does and despite being a one trick pony manages to maintain a position in OU. You are basically using this "unpredictability" card because she has approximately 8 or 9 viable moves she squeezes into 4 (2) slots and 4 or 5 viable items to choose from to be effective.You made the comparision first not I, nor am I claiming that Deoxys-D has beter support that Politoed. I was merely stating that I personally have an easier time vs Politoed and a harder time vs Deoxys-D whereas you are the opposite. Relax.
Yeah, except you're probably "restricting your teambuilding process" to be able to deal with Politoed and friends as well
Don't try and deflect, your argument was not "Ill use CB Chomp to beat Deoxys-D" (that was point 2) it was to make a team that doesn't mind SR (and I assume Hazards). I don't really care tbh if you made a successful Levitator / Flying team, the fact is its limiting on your teambuilding process, and id even consider that an arguement FOR a Deoxys-D ban.
Deo-D is good at what it does, but is not unstoppable nor impossible to deal with, what I gave were examples of dealing with deo-d, if you care to quote the rest you will see I had a lot more than "a team that doesn't mind SR"
Yea but Psychic Politoed is nowhere near as common as Mental Herb Deoxys-D (I couldn't even find Psychic on Politoeds moveset stats just to show how rare it was). You don't really "lose" to Zam either imo (what item would you use anyway to beat Zam / Gengar???) since Shadow Ball is only a 3KO giving you time to get up SR and break the Zam sub so idk, ,are you using LO Zam or something since most of the ones I see are sash :/
Doesn't have to be psychic politoed, what about hp grass heatran failing to deal with dragons, there are a plethora of other examples. LO Zam threatens the majority of a Deo-D's team as they tend to be sweepers/wallbreakers as opposed to bulky tanks/Jirachi, Gengar has a clean 2hko. As for the set of thunder wave/taunt/SR/spikes with a mental herb, it will have its limitations!! Edit: Zam was just an example, what about your precious set being countered by a u-turn/v switch to a magic bounce or a trick or basically any faster set-up mon/trick
